Hi.
Yo may have noticed that I've chosen 5 basic rounds for the KDE-LiveCD [1]. To
the first round (choosing packages) I've only got some few answers. So I
think the current cd layout is ok.
The next round should be the testing of the installed packages. Some of them
may need some configuration to work from a livecd. Some things I have noticed
so far:
- knetworkmanager vs. kwifimanger: I don't own a laptop. So I've not noticed
that kwifimanager is also started automatically. Splitting of kdenetwork
should resolve this point.
- the start of kdm is really slow (compared with gdm)
And the current version has also some problems:
- When selinux is enabled the system-config-tools are not working. Booting
with enforcing=0 or selinux=0 avoids this. That is a point where I need some
help because I have not much experiences with selinux.
- minor issue: messagebus complains about an username "gdm"
If someone knows a good hoster I can upload the current version to it. This
could make it a little bit easier for some people to just test the cd.
Note to the localized versions: Because I don't get _any_ mail for the needed
configurations, this point would left to the local communities completely.
This also affects the third point in the test plan (3).
Sebastian
